How to Make Wheaty Warmers

Toss that old hot-water bottle and get toasty with these pretty warmers instead.

You will need:

cotton fabric (do not use synthetic fabrics)

scissors

pins

sewing machine

wooden spoon

1kg wheat

lavender oil (optional)

toilet roll core

needle and thread

To make

Step 1 - Cut out two 30cm x 20cm rectangular pieces of fabric.

Step 2 - Place the pieces of fabric on top of one another, right sides facing.

Step 3 - Pin all four edges to hold the pieces together. Leaving a 1cm seam allowance, sew around the bag. Leave a 6cm opening on one of the long sides to pour the wheat into. For extra strength, sew around the bag again.
